Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Flora had barely stepped out of the car when Beck drove away, leaving her nearly tumbling to the ground.

She knew Beck didn’t like her, considering the things she had done in the past. It was hard for anyone to like her.-

It didn’t matter though. Connor had promised not to leave!

She would visit him again tomorrow

With a relaxed expression, Flora walked into the Irving household.

However, the Irving household was under a gloomy cloud at the moment.

The maid saw her and kept giving her meaningful looks. The whole house was filled with the tension of impending rage.

Raul was sitting on the couch, his face burning with anger, and her brother Henrik didn’t look pleased either. Their furious expressions made Flora a bit guilty, but when she noticed Carina sitting beside them, her body shook violently with hatred, overwhelming her like a tidal wave

Carina!

She had considered her the best of friends, yet she conspired with Aaron to ruin her family, leading to their deaths in a fire!

“Flora, you’re finally back. Where have you been?” Carina had been watching the door and hurried over when she saw her return. “Did you go to see Aaron again? You.”

At the mention of Aaron, Raul exploded. “You saw him again? Haven’t you u caused enough trouble for him?”

Raul was shaking with anger. Flora was his daughter, whom he cherished, but her recent recklessness had disappointed him deeply. “Dad, let’s not get angry. Let her change her clothes first, Henrik said, draping a blanket over Flora’s shoulders. At twenty–five, he was handsome and spinted, his eyes full of affection for Flora

Henrik

Flora fought back the urge to cry, took a deep breath, and then her icy gaze landed on Carina. “I just got back. How did you know I went to see Aaron?”

“Canna hadn’t expected Flora to question her. “Flora, didn’t you say you liked Aaron and wanted to sneak off to see him? You wanted

10…

A crisp slap cut her off, and Carina was left in disbelief until the burning pain on her cheek convinced her that Flora had indeed hit her!

“Carina, how shameless can you be?” Flora smirked, satisfaction filling her as she rubbed her numb wrist.

Raul and Henrik were stunned, taking a moment to process what had happened. Raul roared, more shocked than angry. “Floral What are y doing? She’s your cousin!”

“Dad, let’s hear Flora out” Henrik protected Flora, puzzled. His sister usually followed Carina’s advice so why had she struck her today?

“Dad, do you know why I was so foolish to push Connor down the stairs?”

Carina felt a jolt of panic at Flora’s hate–filled gaze.

Flora stared at Canna, her eyes red with hatred. “It was Carina. She egged me on, saying that if Connor became crippled or dead, he couldn’t bother me anymore. She told me to pretend to commit suicide, then push Connor down the stairs.”

“I didn’t. How could I possibly suggest Flora hurt Connor… Carina’s face was swelling, and her eyes were slightly red.

Comparing his often reckless daughter and his gentle, quiet niece, Raul believed Carina without question. So he didn’t doubt Carina and only gave Flora a puzzled look.

Flora was different today.

Flora knew her past recklessness made it difficult for them to believe her, but she had prepared for this.

“Dad, Carina suggested it through a text message. Just check her phone.”

Flora’s phone had been destroyed when she jumped from the roof, leaving no trace of it, so they had to check Carina’s.

“Carina, hand over your phone, Raul commanded after a long look at Floral

Carina slowly took out her phone, secretly thrilled because she always deleted any incriminating messages after chatting with Flora Flora’s plan was indeed foolish.

She opened the chat and scrolled to the bottom.

At first, it was just sisterly talk, but later on, nearly two thirds of the unversation revolved around Aaron. Raul detested Aaron to his core, and seeing that name made his blood boil.

Fuming, Raul was dizzy with anger. He stared at Flora with disappointment. “You push Connor down the stairs, and now you’ve learned to slander and shirk responsibility? How did I mise a daughter like you!”

Carina inwardly gloated but feigned a soft voice, choking up, “Uncle Rau, there might be some misunderstanding between Flora and me. It’s okay. I don’t blame her…”

Flora didn’t respond. She just tumed and ran upstairs.

Her action seemed to confirm their suspicions of quilt, making her retreat seem like the act of someone caught in a lie

Raul was heartbreakingly disappointed, the eyes of a man past his prime reddening with anger.

Henrik, watching his sister’s retreating figure, felt that things were not as simple as they seemed. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
